The Villainess Married The Evil CEO-Chapter 84: Are You Ready?

Abigail was stunned after hearing those words. Her heart sank after hearing that. She had thought her relationship with Nicholas was going well and that she could stay here under his protection and figure out what had happened. But now... It seemed she would probably have to....

Seeing her expression, Nicholas coughed and cleared up a few things, basically trying to explain himself of his decision. "The murders are all happening around you. Either someone is after you, your mother or me. In any case, I want to keep you safe, and stay away from this place, the space where you know everyone.

"If it’s someone you know and if it’s someone targeting you alone, they won’t kill anyone when you’re not around." Nicholas laid down his plan. "This way, we can figure out if the killer is linked to you."

Abigail looked at him, shocked. He didn’t think her dear husband was thinking about it so deeply, and her heart couldn’t help but thump in her chest.

That’s right. Wasn’t this why she had decided to continue to stay with Nicholas in the first place? Of course, it was during her mania period, but she knew this was the best decision she ever made because in this world, ever since figure out a murderer was killing in the place of the original villain, she was in a constant state of fear.

So probably, staying with Nicholas was the best decisions for now. After dealing with that murderer, she would think about her future later. Whether she wanted to try dying in this world and returning to her world or not that was for later.

For now, Nicholas was her safety belt that she wanted to keep by her side. That was why she had felt her heart sinking after hearing that he was going to send her away.

But now, when she realized the reason behind it, her heart warmed up a little as she pursed her lips and averted her eyes.

Ah, this man was making it difficult for her to stay unaffected. He seriously reminded her of Lan Zhan from the Mo Dao Zu Shi novel. The two people were similarly cold and indifferent from the outside, but their hearts would warm up with the slightest thing.

For some reason, Abigail really wanted to tease him. Thus, she didn’t stop and said directly, "If I go, will you miss me?"

There was a playful smile on her lips as she leaned against her door frame, crossing her arms against her chest, looking at him in provocation as she added, "If you don’t, it’s better. I can finally find your replacement. Ah, how about Asher? He does look good, almost your rival in both looks and business. How about it?"

The more she spoke, the angrier Nicholas became. He glared at her but couldn’t speak a single word at the moment, only staring in anger.

She spoke deliberately to anger him, didn’t she? His face turned darker and colder as he thought of this.

He finally opened his mouth and said, "You can dare."

After speaking those words, he turned around and walked away. He didn’t even tell her of the details, like her flight was early in the morning and how she was supposed to keep mum about her visit from even Rosa.

Of course, not that Nicholas doubted his own mother, but what if? He couldn’t take any risks. So he decided to hide it from the entire world. By the time he reached his room, his anger had already calmed down, and he regretted stomping out of her room.

But he couldn’t return there after being teased like that. Thus, he pulled out his phone and texted her.

After a while, Abigail received a text from her husband while preparing to sleep.

"Wake up at 5 am, and you don’t have to tell a single soul about this plan, not even to mom. I’ll handle her."

She stared at that text and felt it was funny how her dear husband was being a tsundere. She shook her head and placed her phone on the cabinet beside her bed, lying on her bed covered with blankets.

On the other side, a certain lady had locked her target up, the same young man with a rose tattoo on his neck. He woke up with a groan as he found himself bound. Even his mouth was tied up with tapes.

He suddenly started to struggle as he tried his very best to get rid of the ropes that tied his hand behind his back on the chair.

"Hmmm. HMMMMM!!!!" The man screamed, but there was no one in this room other than the same lady who stood on the other side of the dark room, leaning against the wall.

As she continued to stare at him struggling, her heart felt a trace of satisfaction in her heart. She stared at the guy for a while until he stopped screaming and lay on the chair without moving, exhausted by all the effort.

The lady finally raised her head and spoke, "Are you done?"

The young man trembled as he started screaming once again. His entire face paled as he stared at the lady with a frightened expression. His body trembled in fear as he tried to speak but couldn’t.

She chuckled and walked forward at a slow pace as if she had all the time in the world. Her face was revealed when she finally walked closer to the young man.

Unfortunately, the young man had no idea who this young woman was, and if he were straight and not tied up like this, he would have complimented her beauty if not for the current situation. But right now, his face was full of fear as he stared at the lady.

"Why are you so scared, my little prey?" The woman raised her hand and brushed her index finger against his cheek. "Why don’t we have some fun? You like playing in water, don’t you?"

"HMMMMM, HMMMMM!!!!!"

"Shush." She put her index finger on his taped lips and said, "don’t waste your energy screaming. No one’s gonna hear you anyway. Now then, shall we start?"

The man shook his head as he struggled desperately to get out of his ropes, still screaming.

The woman pouted and said, "You’re no fun. It seems like people like you only like the old way of torture."

She sighed and got up, heading toward a table close to a wooden, old-looking door. She picked up a knife and another weird-looking tool as she turned her head. Excitedly, Her eyes glistened as she said, "Are you ready?"
